You'll find all the the Mari Digis available HERE.

For my card today, I used the lovely "Dressmaker" image.

Isn't she lovely? She was so much fun to play with.

I colored her up and then cut her out with pinking shears. 

After some simple layering, 

I dressed the card up with some sewing themed accessories.

It's funny that I didn't think to do some stitching until after it was all finished! lol

Just some pretty papers, some quick die-cutting, and some simple layering,

I added a slight curl to the tips of the banner to add some dimension.

To finish it off I added two little ribbon embellishments.

Mustard Seed Faith Challenge - God's Lullabies To Us

Sunday Blessings to you, my friends!

It's time for a new challenge over at Mustard Seed Faith Challenge Blog! 

The theme this week is "The Psalms as God's Lullabies To Us". 
Peggysue has a short devotional on the subject over on the blog.

I really love that as a description of the Psalms! 
Are you familiar with the Psalms? 
I think Psalm 23 is probably the most well known
but I love them all. 
Several years ago I had to have a major surgery and I was really scared. 
I pulled out my Bible and started reading the Psalms.
It really was a lullaby for me...and calmed all my fears.
I was able to face my surgery with peace.

If you're ever scared, or worried, or feeling alone...
...or if you're just feeling overwhelmed with life and the world today...
...just dig into the Psalms! 
Feel God speaking the Lullaby to you! 

For the challenge this week:

Create a Baby Card / Something With a Psalm as a Lullaby

I used some lovely items from Gecko Galz to create my card.

The image has a little mustard colored bird on it,

just for my friend Annabel! :o)

Materials Used:

Papers: Gecko Galz - Spring Awakening Digital Paper Pack;

Image: Gecko Galz - Baby Mine Digital Collage Set;

Bling: Crafts - Mini Rhinestones;

Seam Binding: My Sewing Stash;

Doily: My Stash.

So head on over to the

Mustard Seed Challenge Blog

There you can meet the rest of the Design Team

and see what they've created for the challenge this week. 

Then check out the simple rules, make something,

and link it up!

I can't wait to see what you make! :o)

The Project Bin - More Fun is Good

Happy Wednesday, my friends!

Today I'm back with another project for The Project Bin!

I'm having some more fun with the Fun Is Good Stamp Set.
You can find it HERE.

I stamped the sentiment on this whimsical paper.
Then I die-cut it out.
I matted the paper on blue cardstock,
and adhered it to a white card base. 
Then I added the sentiment back in place using foam tape.

It doesn't show that much in the photo 

but the blue shows up as a bit of a frame around the quote.

To finish it off, I added a ribbon bow and a scattering of mini rhinestones.

Here's a closer look at the stamped sentiment:

Other Materials Used:

Papers: Reccollections - Cardstock, American Crafts - Color Crush;

Dies: Spellbinders Nestabilities - Labels Six;

Bling: Crafts - Mini Rhinestones;

Ink: Stampin' Up - Real Red;

Ribbon: Offray.

From The Project Bin:
